‘More than 30 accidents have been reported in the last five years’
Pointing out that a year has passed since the leakage of styrene monomer vapour from the LG Polymers at RR Venkatapuram that clamied at least 12 lives, Human Rights Forum (HRF) Andhra Pradesh and Telangana coordination committee member V.S. Krishna has alleged that the State government has barely done anything when it comes to implementation of the recommendations submitted to it by the High Power Expert Committee.
He said that the High Power Expert Committee appointed by the State government in the aftermath of the LG plant tragedy had made many vital recommendations such as the need for a comprehensive industrial safety audit of all hazardous industries in and around Visakhapatnam.
